• HOUSE OF THE LORD

  Call to Worship: Psalm 86:4-10

  Maybe you came in this morning singing ‘there is joy in the house of the Lord,’ and not feeling particularly joyful. If you are here this morning as a follower of Jesus, I have good news for you: joy is never tied to a circumstance but is tied to the person and completed work of Christ. We can have joy because we can come with boldness before the throne of grace to receive mercy from God because of Christ. We are people who have been forgiven not just partially, not just temporarily, but eternally and forever. This morning in our series in The Apostles’ Creed we will look at a line that is something we talk about often in church - that we have the forgiveness of sins. And this is something we should speak about regularly, but with all things that are familiar, we can often treat them casually. And this morning we’re going to teach you a new song that puts language around the reality that our forgiveness in and through the completed work of Christ is final, full, and forever…

• FORGIVEN FOREVER

• GRAVES INTO GARDENS

  Sermon: 1 John 1:5-2:2

  If we truly understood the depth of our forgiveness in Christ, how quick we would be to confess our sin to God, and one another, and seek forgiveness from God and one another. How quick we would be to forgive those who have sinned against us. Let’s confess what we believe about our faith through the words in the Apostles’ Creed:

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, 

Maker of heaven and earth; 

and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, 

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, 

suffered under Pontius Pilate, 

was crucified, died, and was buried. 

He descended into hell. 

The third day he rose again from the dead. 

He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; 

from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. 

I believe in the Holy Spirit, 

the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, 

the forgiveness of sins, 

the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

• COME THOU FOUNT

Benediction: Psalm 103:8-11

• RAISE A HALLELUJAH

  Parent Commissioning

  Let’s be reminded of why we gather:

  Psalm 145:1-7

• PROMISES

  Scripture reminds us that God is faithful when we are faithless. You and I cannot save ourselves, we cannot try hard enough to be made right with God. We need to rest, trust, and abide in what Christ has done on our behalf. For the boys and the girls in the room, this next song is the song we sang together in the clubhouse last week. Let’s sing together:

• ABIDE

  Sermon: Ezekiel 36:24-28; Galatians 5:22-25

  The life of faith is not a life of doing more and being better. We cannot produce faith in and of ourselves, faith is worked in us by the power of the Holy Spirit. In the same way, we can confess our faith through the words of the Apostles’ Creed, but to confess these words with our hearts and lives requires the empowering of the Holy Spirit. So I want to invite you to stand if you’re able, and confess not just with your mouth, but with your life, by the power of the Holy Spirit what we believe about our faith. Let’s confess together:

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, 

Maker of heaven and earth; 

and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, 

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, 

suffered under Pontius Pilate, 

was crucified, died, and was buried. 

He descended into hell. 

The third day he rose again from the dead. 

He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; 

from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. 

I believe in the Holy Spirit, 

the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, 

the forgiveness of sins, 

the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

• YET NOT I BUT THROUGH CHRIST IN ME

  Benediction: 2 Corinthians 13:14

• THIS IS AMAZING GRACE

  Call to Worship: Psalm 130

  We are people who wait. We wait between two Advents, the Advent of Christ’s first arrival, and the Advent of His second coming. As we heard last week we wait between Christ’s ascension to be with God the Father, and as we’ll hear today we wait for Christ to return to judge the living and the dead. As we wait, we see in part, but when Christ comes again, we will see and know in full. We are going to teach you a new song this morning, and the verses of this song are really a confession of those who see in part. But the chorus is a declaration of those who see in full - the song that has been resounding around heaven for all of eternity - that God is holy, holy, holy. As we sing, I want to invite you to hold these two realities in tension, that we wait and know it part, and that one day we will know in full. Let’s sing…

• HOLY (JESUS YOU ARE)

• I LOVE YOU LORD

  Sermon: Revelation 19:11-20:15

  In many ways, Christ’s first coming was quiet and obscure. When he returns, there will be no denying that Christ has returned to rule and reign. Let Christ’s return fuel our response in humility, hope, and mission. Let’s confess what we believe about our returning King through the words of the Apostels’ Creed, would you stand if you’re able:

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, 

Maker of heaven and earth; 

and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, 

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, 

suffered under Pontius Pilate, 

was crucified, died, and was buried. 

He descended into hell. 

The third day he rose again from the dead. 

He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; 

from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. 

I believe in the Holy Spirit, 

the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, 

the forgiveness of sins, 

the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

• KING OF KINGS

• IN CHRIST ALONE

  Benediction: 2 Timothy 4:8

21 August: Liturgy + Set List

• GOD SO LOVED

  Call to Worship: Psalm 113

  The One who sits enthroned ruling and reigning is the One who is acquainted with all our ways and knows us truly, deeply, and intimately. That should both comfort us and confront us. Let’s sing and celebrate the One who gives more grace, and gives of Himself:

• GRACE ALONE

• A THOUSAND HALLEJUAHS

  Sermon: Matthew 6:9-13

  Pastor and author Ray Ortlund said, ‘God is not too great to notice you, God is too great to overlook you.’ He is imminent and infinite, He has Father and the Almighty. Would you stand, and let’s sing to our God our Father:

• HOW DEEP THE FATHER’S LOVE FOR US

  Let’s sing to God the Almighty:

• HOW GREAT THOU ART

  Benediction: Romans 11:33-36
